For the Native Wifi Filter error, try with this Network.script
and enable "Network addition" in Build Core interface

 Network.Script (11.89 kB - downloaded 107 times.)

Every thing works ok except driver integration. I have added intel HD graphics 4000 driver folder to copy drivers folder. It  was not working.
Then I added line
DEVI %WinDir%\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\igdlh64.inf_amd64_6e877c78ebc3ab5d\igdlh64.inf
to pecmd.ini. It used to work in previous version of XPE. Now even that is not working. Display driver is not loaded at start. I can update driver from device manager from same folders.
Any solution for display driver?

Further still windows defender warning appears as below.

Then to avoid windows defender problem, I deleted the winxpe folder in C drive and unzipped winxpe folder in E drive. I did not get any warning. Now also driver integration though shows successful in build up time, driver is not loaded during usb boot. Hence I added display driver addition in pecmd.ini as above. Now driver loads during boot.

Is there any possibility to add Libre office to the iso? if so how?

Yes, MSE has started picking up pecmd ( but only the x86 ) and also RegCpe and HiveUnload.

It has only started doing that recently.

I can not really help with graphics driver, not my thing.
I can only say that there is nothing modified in the latest package for the drivers integration.
To help you, you can look at SetupAPI.dev.log in Windows\INF folder.

To reduce false alarms, I have Un-Upx HiveUnload and RegCpe. I also removed install au3 in RegCpe.
For pecmd, I converted to English the latest version PECMD2012.1.88.05.81Stable-180142
Starting from PecmdOrginal + en-mods.resc (from a previous SIW2 sharing) + mpress
I do not know much, SIW2 knows better, I hope it is good.

No worries with Defender currently
Not out of trouble, but It's a little better for now with Total Virus Detection Ratios:
  . HiveUnload.exe 2/67
  . RegCPE.exe 7/67
  . pecmd_x86EN.exe 8/67
  . pecmd_x64EN.exe 0/67

 Tools.7z (2480.49 kB - downloaded 143 times.)

Copy HiveUnload and RegCpe in Projects\Tools
Copy  pecmd.exe in Projects\Include\x64(x86)\AdditionalFiles\Windows\System32

To get the wifi in x86 build with the built-in Winre.wim network support and without the Native Wifi Filter error .
It seems that adding:  Windows\L2Schemas  folder is enough
I will add it in explorer plugin to get it by default.
thus, the choice of Network addition in the Build Core plugin is not mandatory for wlansvc, it remains an option for extended Network support.

If Windows defender is driving you crazy turning itself back on over an over like it was doing to me, and you already use another anti-virus just disable it. (Permanently) https://www.sordum.org/9480/defender-control-v1-3/
or uninstall it https://yadi.sk/d/AgusC7tF34Quhq <--SmartScreen doesn't like this because it can remove defender, edge , and cortana..

I have batch files that get flagged.  Its just the way it is and you'll never catch everything.  Exceptions should be set for the builder folder regardless, but it is pretty cool that you edited the files to remove detections 

Nothing else would work for me including setting the reg keys to disable it, but this did.

**BTW removing Defender made my computer faster.... It feels like I removed a virus  (I use Malwarebytes, which listens to what I tell it to do)

Exceptions IS set for the builder folder here with Defender.
No choice not to be bored by AV.

Defender is the worst, and is getting even worse as time goes on, only a matter of time before it is popular to remove it. Tools above will help.

Win10XPE_2018-06-15 update

Pecmd: updated version 2012.1.88.05.81Stable-180142 with less AV false alarms, currently
HiveUnload and RegCpe: Un-Upxed version to decrease some of the false Positives.
Network: Get also the wifi in x86 build with its built-in Winre.wim network support.
   Network addition in Build Core plugin remains an option for an extended Network support.

If you are bothered by false positives, put an exeptions in your AV on the base folder.
You can read this blog from Nir Sofer: Antivirus companies cause a big headache to small developers

I did not get any trogen virus advice and doing quarantine after making file changes as suggested in post 225 by ChrisR even in previous version. Latest version works ok in all respects including display driver integration, time zone preservation and  numlock. But wall paper replaced by me appears during boot up and goes blank after display changes from default to installed system driver.

I just added wiztree app and removed reg apps. Then the build was booted from USB. This time again, display driver was not loaded at all. Only basic display was there. SetupAPI.dev.log is attached.

Thank you PowerPC 
I'll put Pintool v2.2.6.0 in the next package.
However, I think I will keep it in the form of  PinTool.ini section, for the AddPin macro in project.
AddPin macro allows to specify a Defined position or an Auto position, using TaskBarX or StartMenuX index.

@ChrisR

Please add the option to change the administrator name from script, without having to edit the files manually in pecdadmin.

A week offline. I am not sure that the administrator name is widely used!
And I do not want to put it on the main page of the "Build Core" plugin, not to overload it.
If I have other usefull options to add, maybe I can put it in an additional interface, accessible via a button "Additional Option" in Build Core.
Will see. What other options would be useful ?
For now you can do it, fairly easily, with the %AdminName% variable. I do not have better for now.

Thank you very much for giving options. I would like it to be a dedicated option for admin;
- One can change the name.
-Choose the text that appears when it is loading. It's in English and I'd like to change that boot text. The text says something like this: Switch admin user, please wait..

I do it with the pecmd to change the boot text and customize it. But adminpecmd appears once the project is created.
I do not know if I explained well. Right now I'm out and I can not capture the text that appears when it's started, they're both in English.

Thank you so much for everything.
